| Abstract: | Families often cite safety as a primary reason for choosing charter schools, yet policymakers rarely evaluate charter schools on safety-related measures. This scoping review examines 25 years of empirical literature on school safety in charter schools. Using PRISMA-ScR guidelines and the PICOS framework, 44 studies employing quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods were analyzed. Findings identified three key themes: (a) perceptions of safety, (b) prevention practices, and (c) safety incident frequency. Gaps in the literature remain, particularly in qualitative research, rural settings, educator perspectives, and safety assessment measures. Recommendations for future research to address these gaps are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
